My lunch held me over really well today! When I did eventually get hungry I made myself a smoothie (sorry it looks gross).

Ingredients included:

• frozen raspberries
• banana
• kale
• vanilla hemp milk
• udo oil

And for dinner…. I got Darren to eat fake meat! And he liked it! I made sloppy joes with veggie “ground beef”.

• tbsp Earth Balance
• 1 med onion finely chopped
• 1 package veg ground “beef” (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 green bell pepper chopped
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1tsp dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 4 burger buns (we we use Ezekiel)

1. Heat oil/butter/butter spread in skillet, add onion and saute for 2ish minutes.
2. Add “beef” and saute another 3 min.
3. Add soy sauce and green pepper and saute another min or so. Add rest of the ingredients.

It was that easy! We also steamed up some carrots and broccoli (added EVOO and salt and pepper) for a simple side.

I had a “real berry” bar for dessert.

Good night!

About an hour before lunch I had a think bar- chocolate-coconut. I love these bars along with larabars… they taste awesome and only a few ingredients!

I had a sandwich for lunch- I made it with toasted sprouted grain bread, canola mayo, bruchetta, tofurky and cucumbers.

I had steamed cauliflower on the side!

Today I kind of copied Jenna- I had salad too! I made mine with…

• mixed salad green
• 1 carrot
• 3 green onions
• 1 pink lady apple
• walnuts
• Annie’s honey mustard dressing

I also had 1/2 a pita w/ roasted red pepper hummus

and a small banana w/ PB

Right now I’m snacking on Margret’s Artisan caramel-apricot-almond crisps.

Darren and myself went to see Juno tonight! We had his mom come over to babysit Sienna- it was a great movie. I highly recommend seeing it if you haven’t!

My lunch held me over really well but when I got hungry again the hunger really struck! I had some plain yogurt with ezekiel cereal (1/4 cup) and 2 kiwi’s.

For dinner I made chicken stir fry. I used (for 2 people):

• 1 chicken breast marinated in soy sauce and olive oil
• 2 carrots
• 1 celery stock
• 5 button mushrooms
• 1 head bok choy
• 3 green onions
• garlic
• 1/2 tsp olive oil
• soy sauce to taste
• 3 oz Soba noodles
• sprinkle of slivered almonds

I stir fried the chicken up first and then put it aside. I tossed the veggies in a 1/2 tsp oil first and then added it to the pan (reduces the chances of the oil oxidizing and reduces the amount of oil needed). Once veggies/garlic were soften I added the chicken and noodles. It was super fast and easy!

Before the movie we went to starbucks and I got a tall soy earl grey mistro (half tea, half steamed soymilk) and I added 2 packets of sugar in the raw.

After the movie I was pretty hungry so we went to the Good Earth around the corner and I had one of their awesome granola bars and a small soy chai latte.

I am pooped! Off to bed- good night!

It took me a while to figure out what I wanted for lunch today. I knew it involved having butternut squash soup because I need to eat it up! I didn’t feel like a sandwich.. again so I had Mary’s crackers, a carrot, cucumber, and grape tomatoes with red pepper hummus. I only took a picture of the veggies, hummus and cracker plate because I’ve taken a few of the soup and it isn’t that exciting!

I also had a small banana w/ a tbsp of PB for a mid morning snack.
